The intent here is to provide a factor of safety for teams who want to pick up a second ball from the midline, or start teleop back in the center without risk of coasting across while disabled. We don't want to enable any defensive shenanigans.

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

841 is definitely excited - our Slack chat lit up the morning that the email came in :)

Good rules changes, too.

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

Wow! The team list looks stacked! This'll be a fun event to watch for sure!

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

In regards to the rule changes, one rule that i have seen many off season competitions remove is the driving over a boulder while in possession of a boulder foul... Will this rule change be used at Chezy Champs?

Thanks,

Niklas Murray

It's not actually an explicit rule, just a situation that some referees interpret as a violation of G38.

The referees at Chezy Champs are instructed to use common sense and always give the benefit of the doubt to the teams, so if a robot drives over a boulder and isn't obviously trying to control it, by that token they won't call a foul.

Thank you for the clarification. I can't wait for Chezy Champs.

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

I know it may be a little early for this, but does anyone want to trade shirts? I've got a whole bunch of 5940 shirts left over from Champs, and I am happy to trade with anyone in attendance.

Additionally, there are a few things I'm looking for in particular: a 1678 shirt, an 1868 snap-back hat, a 971 hat, any 254 shirt, and a 5803 shirt. For those items in particular I'm willing to trade a normal team shirt, one of our special "Rookie All-Star" shirts (has "2016 Silicon Valley Regional Rookie All-Star Award Winner" on the sleeve and a different design on the back), or just pay cash.

PM me if you are interested!

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

As part of our Chezy Champs coverage this year, GameSense is going to be creating some video content featuring YOUR team's story!

If your team is going to Chezy Champs, fill out this survey by 9/9/16 and tell us about yourselves! If we decided to follow up on your team, we'll record some interviews with you in the pits at Chezy Champs and feature your team during the event on the big screen in the venue, and on the webcast.

The better and more thorough your responses are, the more likely you will end up being featured on the broadcast!

We're excited to be back for a third year, and we can't wait to talk about our new surprise for this year's event very soon.

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

Hey everyone!!

The Awtybots are excited to attend Chezy Champs! We look forward to meeting everyone and making some new friends! We've made some change to our robot and should be ready to have some fun. We're also going to be bringing some shirts for trading so if anyone wants one, let me know so I'll make sure to have your size!

See y'all soon!

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

Hey Everyone,

I'll be out with some 701 shirts for trade in any size. Some specific shirts that I'm looking for are a 1678 shirt, a 1983 shirt, and a 3476 shirt. That being said I'm willing to trade with anyone. If you are interested, please send me a pm and we'll make it work.

Re: Chezy Champs 2016

Regarding alliance selection, does Chezy Champs go 1-8, 1-8, 8-1 like IRI? We found video of the 2014 alliance selection where the official method was used and couldn't find anything for 2015. We also couldn't find anything about it in the rules. Thanks!

Edit: One additional question. Your original list included 45 teams, but the website now says there are only 43 teams going. Can we please get an updated list of attendees?
